Very cool. Every existing criticism about static site generators seems to be gone with this approach. Many interesting ideas in there, like the service worker instead of cloud, and an actual git flow in the browser. Looks almost like more than just a static site generator. This could get rid of the cloud itself.

> People are only forced if they start being dangerous to other people.

I assume this isn't really true, and that the standard in Finland is that they're institutionalized if they're a danger to other people or themselves. The latter part is tricky, though. A person who is clearly in danger of killing themselves with a razor blade can be committed. A person who is in danger of drinking themselves to death on the sidewalk, perhaps not.

Ceres is huge, it contains a good fraction of the total mass in the asteroid belt. It also has a lot of water: e.g. it wandered in from the outer solar system where most bodies have water as a major constituent.

Compared to the composition of the solar photosphere planets like Earth are poor in hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and such -- Mars and the Moon have the advantage of gravity such that all our industrial processes work and we are familiar with them. But the real resources for life and industry are volatiles -- science fiction is still obsessed with iron asteroids, but lacking a knowledge of what form of hydrocarbons you will find on asteroids means we can't start designing the head end of an asteroid mining system.

In most ways the O'Neill colonies have aged badly, but very large structures (e.g. 1000+ miles across) look possible with fiber-reinforced rotors. If we ever want to get serious about asteroid mining I'm imagining that we may need to get 50 or so people on site because there is some R&D and maintenance work you can't do if you have to wait five minutes for light to go back and forth.
Rather than giving the advertiser a list of my interests, it'd be nice if the advertiser gave me a list of keywords for the ads it might show next and my browser requests the ad for me. A default browser could then be configured to learn with a thumbs up / thumbs down / never show me again type of Bayesian training. Or a non-mainstream browser could request random ads.
So they are now rebranding the fact that they are trying to monopolize the ad space?

The answer is yes
> intermediaries allow people to fix mistakes. And people make mistakes all the time.

If intermediaries are optional, they are great. The problem is when they are required, or when they are corrupt, or simply inefficient.

Everything else you are writing shows the same privileged worldview that I see in those who hold strong anti-crypto ideas. You don't know how it is to not have reliable and robust institutions, so you don't understand why so many people want to work on a solution that disrupts them.

> Each of these cases is not "we need a blockchain" but "it's good to have a signed, difficult-to-forge journal that can be inspected and verified".

Yes, blockchain is not the end. It's the tool to have a "signed, difficult-to-forge journal that can be inspected and verified". But until you don't understand the importance of being able to do that without intermediaries, we will be talking past one another.

I still say that's not a good argument.

If the repair costs $2000 to fix the car, and it's otherwise fine, then it's worth it over another car so long as it is still getting the job done.

Where I would agree with you is when the car is no longer safe, either from a structural standpoint, or due to safety standards improving drastically. In those types of scenarios it is worth buying a new car simply for those reasons.

Maintenance has to be done regardless of what kind of car you have. If you're skipping those steps then it'll come back to bite you. I think people just don't like maintenance because they think it should be less than the value of the car. Which is simply not the case. Cars aren't investments (typically) in the sense that their value rarely goes up. It goes down, almost always.

Maintenance is done to keep the vehicle operating properly, reliable, safe, and in good condition. Sometimes those maintenance steps may increase it's value slightly

But here's an example. Say you have a car. It's worth $1000 but is otherwise in fine condition. It runs great, it's safe, it is rust free and structurally sound. Except it needs to tires. Lets say those tires cost $750 because you also have to buy a new wheel and maybe the tires are harder to find. Do you go "well... that's too much... I'm just going to throw the car out and get a new one"

If you do, you're doing it wrong. The same is true for battery maintenance. If the car is otherwise fine, it's like buying any other maintenance. You may not LIKE that you have to pay for maintenance, but it's part of vehicle ownership.
Florida is the 3rd most populous state in the USA. It is overflowing with young people, many of whom moved here from elsewhere. It's also a very diverse state, ethnically, economically, ideologically. There is absolutely a "frontier spirit" vibe here, partly created by the hands-off republican controlled state and local governments. I think it is quite honestly a good representation of the USA, certainly more complete than places like San Francisco or New York.

I also think those condo towers look terrifically ugly, but they are in good company in that department.

Have you ever tried to argue with someone who is into conspiracy theories?

One of my former best friends went down the deep end. It started with 9/11 conspiracies and just spiralled down from there.

I engaged with him, because I care deeply about him, but it just got worse and worse. Initially it was 9/11 and questions about wealth and power distribution and there are some valid questions that can be asked (although all the 9/11 stuff is bonkers). It soon became crazier and crazier, it was about "energy from the vacuum" (essentially a code-word for perpetual motion), how Gates is trying to sterilize the population through vaccination.

The irony was that he was seeing himself as a freedom fighter who is speaking the truth to prevent the next fascist regime, completely ignoring that many of the people he followed or supported were literal Nazis.

Engaging with him was not possible. He would bombard me with links that somehow were supposed to proof his point. If I brought up counterarguments, he would say that he has strong evidence that one can not believe mainstream media, science, logic ... And that I'm just a sheep blindly following "propaganda" and he knows better.

There was absolutely no way of getting through to him or engaging in any kind of discussion. This was just his monologues and flooding me links (many I suspect he did not even read/watch).

In the end I had to cut contact, because it was affecting me mentally, the interactions would just leave me exhausted angry and incredibly sad.

I don't have a solution, we need to somehow find a way of how people can be drawn into these crazy web of conspiracies and I don't think that creating forums were these crazy things are debated like they are valid opinions is an answer.
Its so sad but so human that this just seems to be ignored in large part. If we knew a massive war would come and kill a huge portion of the earths population in the next 50-100 years would we react any better?
There are many SVG rasterizers out there. This one is okay:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Librsvg

Could just be that I'm a cross-platform guy, but it seems like most programs bypass the OS rasterization stack (rendering fonts/curves/polygons/etc. with open source libraries rather than native OS facilities, and sending the OS a finished bitmap). This choice probably addressed a mix of cross-platform consistency issues, as well as the lowest-common-denominator problem.
The poles would still prevent sea level rise. Or avoiding melt of the land based ice sheets would anyway.

I agree with you on solving root causes. If we don’t, the oceans will acidify with co2 and there may also be bad effects from higher co2 in the air. Emerging studies show cognitive declines.

That said, both of those are slower moving crises to some extent. We may face acute challenges from excess heat and changing weather patterns. So it’s possible we’ll require an emergency stopgap while we fix the underlying issues.
From reading HN it seems like there needs to be open source radio hardware as well to break the dependency on qualcomm, broadcom and whomever else is supplying chips. At least if the idea is to have something auditable.
> A race condition is a type of programming error

I don't think a race condition is inherently an error. If you can design your program to accommodate races, including even data races, then allowing them and not spending time on protecting against them can be a useful performance optimisation.

It's only a bug if the race causes you to get into a state that you don't want.

Maybe we need to do both. Green energy or carbon neutral is good, but cannot achieve instantly. Most countries are inside treaty, but stop oil, coal and gas will give countries outside treaty a unaffair advantage, making the goal harder to reach.
One friend could tell the difference between the Coke made in Toronto vs made in London, Ontario. He much preferred the latter, maybe something to do with the water. Whenever he heard anyone was going to London he would try to get them to bring some back paying for the trouble. We put it to the test, he correctly guessed a handful of times in a blind test. Then we mixed them, he said "you mixed them."
> France is doing the same thing and Google is fine with it.

Is it? Several countries have proposed laws that they hoped would force Google to pay for links to news sites, and every time, Google's response has been to not list those news site. And if the law didn't allow that, they just left that market entirely.

The simple fact is that most sites in the Web like being found through search engines. If news sites want to be paid money to be listed, then the only obvious result of that will be that search engines won't list them.

I keep getting surprised by countries trying the same thing over and over again. In the end, you can't force a company to do business. It has to be attractive for the company to do business.

I don't like Google's dominance in search and advertising any more than anyone else, but these bizarre laws trying to extract money from them seem very ill-advised. But if Google is forced to abandon a country, there will still be other search engines available.
Bear in mind that the term "Europe" is pretty much meaningless – for that matter, so is "United States".

>"While Taboola relies mostly on artificial intelligence to power content recommendations, Singolda says the company has invested in hiring over 50 full-time human moderation to ensure that every piece of content on its site is approved."

I think an implementation in RDBMS is worth exploring. After all, the page size of the PGM-index can be tuned to match the one of the media you are storing your data to (or to match the default setting of the RDBMS).

About the paradigm shift to use smaller pages, it's worth mentioning technological innovations like the Intel's Optane DC Persistent Memory, in which the access granularity is 256 bytes. I expect that similar products will be available in the near future and that new/updated RDBMS implementations will take advantage of them.

A project like this can still be very useful if only to show newbies which libraries are the canonical ones. I've noticed with Rust their are many libraries which any experience Rust user would know about but which are not obvious to a newbie.
The website asks you to report granted compensation, not including equity appreciation. Sure, it’s unlikely that is what people are always reporting, but the Facebook numbers track with some new hire offers.
I am uniquely equipped to answer that question. Did an undergrad in mech E and worked as an automobile engineer for while before pivoting to computer vision and ML.

The safety standard that mechanical parts need to abide by are orders of magnitude higher than any Vision/Software product. Additionally, mechanical failures are rarely catastrophic. The part will most likely alert you hours/days in advance that it has begun to fail. Additionally, when catastrophic failure does happen, it often leads to the car stopping and not ramming through a busy intersection.

The problem with ML algorithms, is that they fail without warning and without intuition. It is incredibly hard to design against catastrophe. ML algos are also great at overfitting, so they can often learn to beat narrow tests while being inept at dealing with the exact scenario the test was supposed to evaluate it for. (I know, I know, "Don't tune on the test set!"... but human factors make it near impossible to avoid some level of it)

We are in dire need of a regulatory/evaluation body for AI that consists of top-tier ML researchers. Now that can be a govt. body or a 3rd party contractor that works closely with the Govt. But, we need to start laying the groundwork and debating around it now. So when we do need it, it is ready to be deployed.
I agree that its a difficult problem, one that money won't solve.

I think the more local the action the more effective. For instance, a neighbor can help out one person most effectively. That person may need shelter, food, mental health services, mentorship or something else. When you expand that out to a city, it makes it more difficult since the organization has less knowledge about the individual. And as you expand it to larger and more disconnected entities, the results become worse.

One argument could be that corruption and general incompetence may be lower on the state level as opposed to local, since state level is a more competitive political climate. In other words, I think governors are more likely to get voted out as local officials, many of whom are unelected, but I could be wrong. The other argument is that state has more shared resources and more experience that would overcome the fact that they're more disconnected from the subjects they're trying to help.

But the trade-off exists and I believe that the most effective way organizations are small local organizations as opposed to large top down state-level organizations. And since local organizations have failed, my impression is that higher level, more bureaucratic organizations will similarly fail. I think we should focus on re-thinking about how we handle the problem and not just throw money at it, because the moneyed interests may even be hindering the effort.
I like this a lot, but am prevented from using it by the fact that it is not open source/free software, from my reading of the license.
I have not updated my phone in two years, because I know the update I am going to get will disable call recording functionality. Phone works fine except that I cannot disable the notification about the update that pops up randomly in hope that I'll click to accept by mistake.
Also maybe that's why my phone works well as there are no updates that would slow things down.
The engineers working at these companies in the slides get all of that too, except the not at-will employment. But even if they didn't, the entry-level engineer could pay for all of that and still have way more money left than most any SWE in Europe, regardless of seniority. And that money probably gets them better health care than most Europeans, too.
Yep! Really, most of the error handling libraries just reduce the boilerplate associated with creating your own error types. SNAFU also adds some opinions to the mix.

You can see what the libraries do by expanding the procedural macros they use. When you look at the output, it's nothing special that you couldn't have done yourself!

This is true, but these benefits are not necessarily exactly as good as they look on paper.

For example, I work in London, and I routinely have to resort to private medical healthcare because wait times at my borough NHS clinic can be 2-3 weeks, even before COVID-19 hit. In one serious incident, I was not able to be seen at either a local GP or a local 'walk-in' emergency room due to standard winter capacity issues, and so had to shell out 250 quid to see a private GP, who didn't even have the equipment to suture me up, so my friend, who works as an NHS GP, did it for me in his apartment. Dental coverage is extremely limited here too, although it does cover basic cleaning/checkup services (so it's better than Canada in that regard).

As for days PTO - sure, but it's going to depend again on the company. You may or may not be able to actually take that PTO at fear of reprisal (indirectly or directly). At least on paper they can't stop you from doing it I guess. Fair point on the maternity as far as I can tell.

At the end of the day, would I trade the above benefits (with the exception of maternity leave) for 200k USD per year? Uh - yeah, for sure.
Philosophically, I think searching out "what the other side thinks" is the wrong approach, as it presupposes that there are only two sides. I know that a lot of our media is based around the two-sides narrative but it really isn't true. Even in politics there are as many opinions as there are people. If you examine your own beliefs you will probably find that you don't really agree with everything on "your own side".

It is not people are quiet about their beliefs - just read some of their books/blogs if you want to know how they think. Just avoid sites like youtube where people are paid by advertising - there you will only get deliberately provocative content just to get clicks.

You UI is interesting but I think you are setting yourself up for hosting arguments rather than discussion. Sites like ycombinator, reddit, twitter, and yes even parlor have the cultures they do due to careful (and often unseen) moderation. I don't envy the task you have set for yourself.
> you should be allowed to do EVERYTHING which doesn't affect others without their consent

People don't exist in vacuums. Nearly every decision you make is going to affect society somehow. If you decide to eat fast food for every meal and become obese, that isn't happening in a vacuum. Sooner or later you will start putting strain on the healthcare system and if enough people do the same, the "joy-destroying overlords" are going to start taxing sugar and fat (or other agency-limiting measures) to save you from yourself. Is that the world you want to live in - where the government has to increasingly limit everyone's agency in order to save more lives?
